Given:
Meters of Cloth = 45 m
Each Pillow Case Required to make one = 3/4 m
What is Asked:
How many would she make?
Answer & Solution:
[tex] \sf \large 45 \div \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \large = \frac{45}{1} \div \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \large = \frac{45}{1} \times \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \large = \frac{45 \: \times \: 4}{1 \: \times \: 3} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \large = \frac{180}{3} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \large \boxed {\sf \: = 60}[/tex]
↬ Therefore she can make 60 pillows with 45 meters of cloth.
